Sweet Home is a city in Linn County, Oregon, United States. The population was 8,925 at the 2010 census.[6] According to the city, "Sweet Home is sometimes referred to as the 'Gateway to the Santiam Playground' due to its proximity to nearby lakes, rivers and the Cascade Mountains."[7]
Settlers first arrived in the Sweet Home Valley in the early 1850s. A community known as Buckhead developed near the mouth of Ames Creek and the South Santiam River. Buckhead was named after a saloon that featured a set of elk antlers on the gable end of its building. East of Buckhead, a community called Mossville developed with a store and post office. In 1874, the two communities merged to become one community called Sweet Home. In 1893, the city of Sweet Home was incorporated.[8]
The Santiam Wagon Road, a toll road connecting the Willamette Valley with central Oregon, was opened in 1865. The road extended from the Sweet Home Valley across the Santiam Pass in the Cascades to Camp Polk near Sisters. The Santiam Wagon Road was a vital means of supplying livestock and goods from western Oregon to central Oregon and transporting wool from east of the Cascades back to Willamette Valley woolen mills.[9] Competition with railroads that extended south from the Columbia River into central Oregon and the newly opened McKenzie Pass Highway made the wagon road obsolete by the late 1930s. U.S. Route 20 was constructed across much of the same route as the Santiam Wagon Road.[10]
Sweet Home experienced significant growth during the 1940s due to the demand for timber from local forests. Further growth occurred when construction began on nearby Green Peter Dam in 1962 and continued as construction began on Foster Dam in 1966.[11]
During the 1980s, Sweet Home experienced a number of sawmill and plywood mill closures due to economic cycles, increased competition, increased productivity, and logging restrictions placed on nearby forests resulting from environmental concerns for endangered species.[12][13] In response, community members sought out other economic development opportunities such as the Oregon Jamboree country music and camping festival.[14]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.75 square miles (14.89 km2), of which 5.30 square miles (13.73 km2) is land and 0.45 square miles (1.17 km2) is water.[1]
The intersection Oregon Route 228 and U.S. Route 20 occurs at the Western end of Sweet Home.[15]
The South Santiam River flows from Foster Reservoir along the northern city limits of Sweet Home. Ames Creek and Wiley Creek flow into the South Santiam River within the city limits.[16]
Sweet Home is built on a prehistoric petrified forest. In addition to fossil wood, the area includes a variety of agate, jasper, crystals and minerals.[17]
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F (22.0 °C). According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Sweet Home has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[18]
The median income for a household in the city was $37,182; 20.0% of persons were below the poverty line.[6]

Steve Clarke is ready to walk away from Chelsea, it has been revealed.
The Times says Clarke, Chelsea's assistant first-team coach, has become so disillusioned with life at Stamford Bridge that he wants to pursue his own managerial career at the end of the season.
Clarke was given a huge pay rise to £900,000 a year to convince him to stay after the departure of José Mourinho in September last year forced the Scot to consider his future, but the improved contract has not eradicated all his concerns.
Such is Clarke's desire for a fresh start that he is willing to accept a substantial pay cut to secure a manager's job elsewhere.

Tuesday's practice might as well have been the first day of school for Jackson State junior defensive back Cameron Loeffler.
With the loss of senior free safety Richard Hughes to a season-ending ankle injury, it's Loeffler who is being thrust into the void. The junior transfer had started every game for JSU at the Buck position and enters Saturday's game at Alabama State (4-2, 4-1 SWAC) leading the Tigers (2-4, 2-2 SWAC) with 46 tackles.
On Wednesday, Loeffler's head was still swimming as he tried to learn the nuances of his new position. ...

"Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim's sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken's sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?"
This blog hasn't reinvent itself into a tuition blog. Anyway with an url like this, and with more than half the hits coming from people googling the word "wanking", I doubt any parents would allow their kids to visit this site. So what is a mathematics question doing here? This question, which even stumped some adults (I initially thought it was a riddle), appeared in the recent PSLE mathematics examination. Needless to say, it riled up the parents and even got some kids suicidal, judging from the opening paragraph of this article. While I understand the need for MOE to maintain the high standard of mathematics proficiency that our country is renowned for, they ought to cut these kids some slack lest they grow up to be depressed and follow the path of our favourite (at least mine) ex beauty queen who had "forgotten" to remove her study notes from her pencil case during one of her term paper. For the record, I solved the question in about 15 minutes using simultaneous equations, which I believe is a concept still abstract to the average P6 kids. ============================================================== Shes yellow.

It has only been a week since we celebrated Mid Autumn festival, NASA is endangering the lives of Chang'Er and her pet bunny by conducting the crash. I'm somewhat surprised that China has yet to come out to voice their displeasure on this. Besides stoking flames in the Sino-US testy relationship, it may trigger something more troublesome, something along the line of an inter-galactic warfare. Please oh please, I don't want to wake up one day staring at the newspaper headline of "Moon exploratory forces crashed two manned spacecrafts into Earth in a bid to detect blood" Random video of the day 心的距离 from Eason Chan's latest studio offering 《上五楼的快活》 又一遍我忘记了是哪些事件 你言词闪烁原因当然不明显 试着看见让时间倒转回到从前 认真如我有抓不到的边缘 在想象的空间里不断徘回 那画面永远明确 就算是闭上眼也无法否决 我怎么会让自己舍身不断涉险 你怎么会对我的心不断的拒绝 爱失去你的包围 每次退后又错过你的世界一点 我没有办法清醒应付新的对决 你却轻易让我的心委屈到极限 爱有了你却失去了我的一切 衡量你的心直线到我之间 没有跨越的机会

When I first saw this song on MTV when I was still in secondary school I had nothing but scorn for it. Tear jerker of a video, no guitar riffs, no boobs shot, in short - a waste of TV air time. Maybe because it is a 李宗盛 composition, which many say one is able to fully grasp the meaning only after going through the ups and downs of life. Now with age catching up and having thinner hair on the pate, I begin to understand why this song resonated with many broken hearts when it was first released. And yes, my eyes are brimming with tears whenever I hear the chorus. 我以为我会哭 但是我没有 我只是怔怔望着你的脚步 给你我最后的祝福 这何尝不是一种领悟 让我把自己看清楚 虽然那共爱的痛苦 将日日夜夜 在我灵魂最深处 我以为我会报复 但是我没有 当我看到我深爱过的男人 竟然像孩子一样无助 这何尝不是一种领悟 让你把自己看清楚 被爱是奢侈的幸福 可惜你从来不在乎 啊!一段感情就此结束 啊!一颗心眼看要荒芜 我们的爱若是错误 愿你我没有白白受苦 若曾真心真意付出 就应该满足 啊!多么痛的领悟 你曾是我的全部 只是我回首来时路的每一步 都走的好孤独 啊!多么痛的领悟 你曾是我的全部 只愿你挣脱情的枷锁 爱的束缚任意追逐 别再为爱受苦 我以为我会报复 但是我没有 当我看到我深爱过的男人 竟然像孩子一样无助 这何尝不是一种领悟 让你把自己看清楚 被爱是奢侈的幸福 可惜你从来不在乎 啊!一段感情就此结束 啊!一颗心眼看要荒芜 我们的爱若是错误 愿你我没有白白受苦 若曾真心真意付出 就应该满足 啊!多么痛的领悟 你曾是我的全部 只是我回首来时路的每一步 都走的好孤独 啊!多么痛的领悟 你曾是我的全部 只愿你挣脱情的枷锁 爱的束缚任意追逐 啊!多么痛的领悟 你曾是我的全部 只是我回首来时路的每一步 都走的好孤独 啊!多么痛的领悟 你曾是我的全部 只愿你挣脱情的枷锁 爱的束缚任意追逐 别再为爱受苦

CocoaT Junior Roaster - SS CocoaT Roasters are ideal for roasting cocoa beans, the precursors of the best chocolate. Roasting the cocoa beans at right temperature for the right duration is critical to get better quality nibs and in turn better tasting chocolate. All CocoaT roasters are equipped with removable stainless steel roasting baskets / drums. Our CocoaT Roasters are equipped with timer control. During roasting, cocoa beans constantly tumble inside the slowly rotating stainless steel drum. The beans are heated by convection heat (heating element) and conduction heat (from the roaster basket) resulting in evenly roasted beans. Our CocoaT Junior roasters can roast 4-6 lbs of cocoa beans. The unit comes with a fixed temperature setting of approximately 135C. The CocoaT Junior roasters have timers. CocoaT Jr. Roaster - SS Technical Information:

Attack with jetpack | 100% | |
If you have jetpacks that you do not need, walk up to an enemy and turn around so you are facing directly away from your target. Equip a jetpack, and aim directly upwards. Fire the jetpack, and then release it after about 2 seconds. The enemy will suffer a maximum of 20 points of damage from the blast caused by the jetpack hitting the earth, plus any additional damage caused according to where the pig lands. Your pig should land safely by parachute, but try and make him land on an enemy. If you can do so, you will inflict 1 point of damage.

When you are attempting to destroy vehicles, pillboxes or artillery, an excellent way to do so is to have a pig with a flamethrower (Pyrotechnics have them, level 3 heavy weapons soldiers, or they can be used in multiplayer mode). Walk it up close to the intended target. Face the target, and let rip with the flamethrower, so all the flames hit the vehicle, pillbox or artillery. It should suffer about 102 to 108 points of damage. | ||

This trick only works if you have Freeze Gas and Hide. First throw Freeze Gas on your opponent(s); then Hide for as many rounds as necessary for the opponent(s) to sneeze themselves to death. Even the strongest opponent (legend) can be defeated in this way. However, this may take up to (150-15)/10 i.e. 14 rounds; weaker opponents are finished off sooner. The advantage of this method is that even if you are outnumbered and/or very weak you can still kill really strong opponents while guaranteed that you get away unharmed. | ||

For an extra pump/challenge: Start all the way down in the hole. Like way down, sit start style. Rock is a little funny in places, but man it makes it like 80 ft to the chains:) |

Many thanks to the Thunder Ridge crew for the time and work put into these canyons. This place is the epitomy of fun climbing.... I haven't been able to stop thinking about the G Route since I first hopped on it! |
By kirkadirka From: Boulder Mar 26, 2012 |
Just a heads up to those attempting/belaying below the route: the final jug near the ancors is definitely loose. I felt it flex as I climbed to the anchors and could wiggle it as I was lowering off and inspecting furhter. Be careful, and have the belayer be out of the way. It is a pretty sizeable chunk of rock. |

Appleby out of Aussie Masters with injury
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)
Defending champion Stuart Appleby has withdrawn from the Australian Masters due to a back injury.
Appleby shot a 1-under 70 in the opening round at Victoria Golf Club on Thursday, five strokes off the lead. He said he decided before teeing off for the second round on Friday that his injury was too painful for him to continue.
The Australian said earlier in the week that with rest and continued treatment he would be fit to resume playing when the US PGA Tour gets under way next year.
Ian Poulter of England was the overnight leader after shooting a 6-under 65 on Thursday.

23 April 2012 meetup: Rethinking web-application architecture for the Cloud
Unless your organization is unique, not all your data is sensitive. This raises the question: should scarce security resources be used to protect 100% of your data? The logical approach should be to build your IT infrastructure in a manner that optimizes your investments: protecting what matters while managing non-sensitive data with minimal controls.
This talk presents an architecture for building the next generation of web-applications. This architecture allows you to leverage emerging technologies such as cloud-computing, cloud-storage and enterprise key-management Infrastructure (EKMI) to derive benefits such as lower costs, faster time-to-market and immense scalability with smaller investments – while proving compliance to PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH and similar data-security regulations. We call this "Regulatory Compliant Cloud Computing (RC3)". Papers describing RC3 can be found on the following websites:
IBM: http://ibm.co/rc3dw
ISSA Journal: http://bit.ly/rc3issa
InfoQ: http://bit.ly/rc3infoq
StrongAuth: http://www.strongauth.com/pdf/RC3-WebAppArch-1.2-2.pdf
Speaker's Bio
Arshad is the CTO of StrongAuth, Inc., a Silicon Valley-based company focused on encryption and key-management for the last 11 years. He is the architect and lead developer of many open-source cryptographic software including CSRTool, StrongKey, KeyAppliance and the CryptoEngine. He has written many papers and spoken at many conferences - most recently at OWASP AppSec 2012 - on the subject of encryption and key-management.

Really interesting conversation going on about the NYC subway photo that the NY Post ran on the cover yesterday. I think the Post was probably out of line to run the photo. I think they were WAY the hell out of line to caption it the way they did ("DOOMED. Pushed on the subway track, this man is about to die.") But what about the photographer? Was he out of line? He's a photojournalist -- and he captured a moment of news as it unfolded, which is his job. |
Access Registered: Jun 07, 2004 Total Posts: 1713 Country: United States |
I remember a similar story about a similar set of events, a photographer who was on assignment wasn't paying much attention and stumbled then fell onto the subway tracks. A few people offered a hand to try to help him up, but he waved them off and stepped away, despite their yelling. As the train came up to hit him, he just stood with his back to the train, hand extended and camera in front, apparently to snap a few photos before the train hit him. He died and when the cops showed up, they were in total disbelief, not believing the witnesses' testimony until the evidence (photos in the camera) were developed and as evidence they corroborated the witnesses' story. Another note, in this case the paper he was on assignment for did not publish the photos because they did not want to encourage this kind of behavior. |

This is a very sensitive topic. Should the photog have tried to save the man? I don't know. He was heard to have said that he wasn't strong enough to have lifted him. There isn't much on the platform to grab onto, so I wonder if he had tried, he might have been pulled down also. Rescue swimmers are taught that drowning victims can easily drown their rescuers. The photog will have to live with his actions. If it was his job, he did his job. Were there others on the platform and why didn't they assist? As said above, is there much difference between this and the other 2 referenced events other than this event occurred outside of a war zone (and does that even qualify?)? |
Access Registered: Jun 07, 2004 Total Posts: 1713 Country: United States |
Sensitive why? It is just part of life or human psyche. |
mrgetalife Registered: Jul 15, 2005 Total Posts: 321 Country: United States |
The unfortunate part of this whole incident. Is even people in New York City do not know how to save people when it comes to the Underground subway part of the City. The Above ground and Below ground saving techniques are different. I only know how to get out of the Below ground situation myself. |

This is a debate that I recently had with my friends. Sadly, we couldn't draw a conclusion. Your responses helped me too so thank you |
pinball Registered: Jan 24, 2003 Total Posts: 1016 Country: United States |
I work in the NYC subways the best is to lay down in the middle of the track in the drain you can actually put a five gallon bucket in between the rails and it wont get hit, people dont realize how much room is underneath it or if you can get to the end of the platform {the leaving end} the train has time to stop. |
hugodrax Registered: Dec 07, 2003 Total Posts: 894 Country: United States |
There were a million other people there, where were they? Why did they not help? |

Seems to me, the photographer should be detached |

Interesting discussion, to take it off the subway topic, i've shot homeless and posted a recent picture myself. I asked for permission and he was pleasant enough, he was also sitting on the busiest street during rush hour so he was okay with being exposed. I did give him a small monetary donation as he was sitting with a cup in the first place. |

DJ Mena Joins the Angels
It's always a tragedy when a young person dies before his or her prime. In the music industry, the preferred age for dying young tends to be 27. A host of rock legends including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and even bluesman Robert Johnson are all in the Forever 27 Club because of their early deaths. But when you think about it, 27 years is a long time to live — some musicians don't make it even that long.
Two weeks ago, a local mixmaster named Davis Mena, AKA DJ Mena, was killed in a motorcycle accident in Hialeah. It's the same city where he was born and raised and where he first began making his mark as a DJ. Known to many because of his bright smile and charismatic attitude, Mena, who was of Cuban descent, first made a name for himself as a DJ spinning reggaeton and Latin grooves at venues like Club Rendezvous in Miami Lakes. He eventually graduated to larger venues such as Nocturnal and Space as his DJing skills picked up, and in February, he was signed on to be the official DJ for the Fort Lauderdale-based hip-hop group Gwop Boyz. According to his sister, Diana Mena, her brother always had a strong passion for music, so much so that he dropped out of Hialeah High School at age 17 to pursue a career in music full-time. He'd only been DJing for a few years, but through his neighborhood mixes and DJ appearances, lots of folks in the rap world took to him.
When he got the deal with the Gwop Boyz, things for Mena looked like they were on the rise. According to Andrew "Andy Boy" Carreras, head A&R for Level 6 Entertainment and manager of the Gwop Boyz, bringing Mena on to be the group's DJ was a no-brainer.
"Yo, that guy was one of the most eager and hardest-working DJs that I knew," Carreras said. "Not only was he one of the most motivated young DJs that I've ever met, he was also a good person and had a real big heart. That guy showed love to everybody."
But just as he'd begun building his name in the streets, tragedy struck. Details about his motorcycle accident are still inconclusive, but on June 12, he borrowed his brother's bike to go to the store around the corner from his house. On the way home, he lost control of the bike and was hit by another vehicle and killed. The news devastated his friends and family, all of whom are still grieving. He was wearing a helmet at the time of his accident, and alcohol was not a factor.
DJ Mena was just 19 years old.

Museu d'Art de Catalunya Celebrates 75th Anniversary with Exhibition
The museum brought together 75 masterpieces of Catalan art belonging to private collections. Photo: EFE/Julián Martín.
It is now 75 years since the inauguration of the
Museu dArt de Catalunya
, and the MNAC is celebrating it by bringing together 75 masterpieces of Catalan art belonging to private collections, Catalan, European and American museums, and ecclesiastic patrimony. The show enables us to journey through the history of Catalan art from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, through works of great artistic quality from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods, the nineteenth century, and the first three decades of the twentieth century. Exceptionally, some of these works have left their usual place in the churches and cathedrals of Catalonia for the first time to be included in this commemorative exhibition. Some, like the Beget Majesty, a major work of Catalan Romanesque sculpture, or the great Gothic altarpiece of the Virgin of LEscala by Joan Antigó, are even abandoning for a few months their liturgical function in the church of Sant Cristòfor in Beget, a place of pilgrimage, and the monastery church of Sant Esteve in Banyoles, respectively an occasion that has been taken advantage of to carry out the restoration of both works.
At the same time, the exhibition has made it possible for very important pieces that, for a variety of reasons, are located outside our frontiers to temporarily return to Catalonia, like Pere Ollers relief from the tomb of King Ferdinand I of Antequera, originally in the monastery of Poblet and now in the Musée du Louvre; an Annunciation by Bernat Martorell from the Musée des beaux-arts in Montreal; Mediterranean, by Aristides Maillol, from the Musée dOrsay; Picassos The Sleepy Drinker from the Kunstmuseum in Bern, or The Farmers Wife by Joan Miró from the Centre Georges Pompidou, to mention but a few. Equally important is the presence of works from Catalan institutions and museums, like the embroidery of Saint George and the Princess from the chapel in the Palau de la Generalitat; the embroidered frontal of Jesus and the Evangelists from the Museu Episcopal de Vic, or Marià Fortunys The Carpet Seller from the Museu de Montserrat, among many others.
In short, the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Museum of Catalan Art gives the MNAC the opportunity to house for a few months this most important and unlikely to be repeated selection of Guests of Honour.
The Wise Princess. The Paintings of Saint Catherine from La Seu dUrgell
Date: 2nd of December 2009 - 28th of February 2010
The paintings of Saint Catherine from La Seu dUrgell are a late but extraordinary example of Catalan Romanesque painting. Conceived as the mural decoration of one of the chapels in the cathedral of La Seu, they were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century and removed and sold in three separate parts on the international antiques market. These three parts are today conserved in the MNAC, the MEV and the Abegg Foundation in Switzerland.
The paintings are an example of the transformations that took place in Catalan Romanesque painting in the middle of the 13th century, when it felt the impact of the French Linear Gothic style. They are associated with the patronage of Bishop Ponç de Vilamur (1230-1257), a distinguished combatant of the Cathar heresy in the diocese of Urgell. The prominence in the paintings of Saint Catherine has to be understood in the context of this circumstance, for the saint was the model par excellence of anti-heretical preaching and the patron of the Dominican order, which had come into being precisely to combat Catharism.
The exhibition, moreover, explains to us the technique, known as strappo, for the removal of mural paintings: during the 1920s and 30s it was used to systematically remove the major groups of Romanesque mural paintings conserved in Catalonia.
The show is part of the project to reunite dispersed groups of Catalan Romanesque art, begun by the MEV and the MNAC in 2008 with the exhibition The Painted Sky. The Tost Baldachin. Now with The Wise Princess we have the opportunity to enjoy the whole group of paintings of Saint Catherine, presented together for the first time since they were removed.

Throughout the 32-year history of Hearnes Center, two teams have visited Columbia and gone on to win the national championship.
During the regular season, few expected either team to be among the nation's best, but both put it together during a strong March.
Although Missouri has never reached the Final Four, the Tigers can claim to have beaten an eventual national champion at Hearnes. On Jan. 9, 1983, the Tigers stifled a strong North Carolina State offense and earned a 49-42 win.
At the time, the game was a matchup of teams ranked in the teens. As the season went on, though, Missouri's win came to mean much more. The Wolfpack fought its way through the NCAA Tournament, becoming national champions after beating heavily favored Houston 54-52 on Lorenzo Charles' last-second dunk.
Not many expected North Carolina State's championship run; it had to win its conference tournament just to make the NCAA Tournament. The Wolfpack's loss to Missouri shocked few. The game itself had more flavor than a typical Big Eight Conference-Atlantic Coast Conference contest. It came in Missouri guard Jon Sundvold's final season and matched him against Derrick Whittenburg, one of the nation's top scorers. The previous summer, Sundvold beat out Whittenburg for a spot on the FIBA World Championships team, much to Whittenburg's dismay.
"I've been waiting for this matchup for a long time," Whittenburg said at the time. "It's always been in my mind. It was a type of motivation … I kind of felt like he took my spot. I thought I should have made it."
Whittenburg's play persuaded few. He scored nine in the loss, and Sundvold had 19 to lead all scorers.
The game was one of Missouri's biggest wins on its run to a fourth consecutive Big Eight title. The Tigers, though, fell to Iowa in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Wolfpack had bigger things in store.
Although North Carolina State's tournament run might have been more surprising, Kansas' championship campaign in 1988 ranks also was unexpected. Forward Danny Manning was an undeniable inside force for the Jayhawks, but they struggled to put together a consistent season, making the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed.
Manning led the Jayhawks to the Final Four in Kansas City with 56 points, 28 rebounds and nine steals in Kansas' last two wins. For his efforts, the club earned the nickname "Danny and the Miracles."
On Feb. 27, 1988, the miracle tour made a stop in Columbia, where the Jayhawks won 82-77. The game featured a matchup of All-Americans, pitting Manning against Derrick Chievous, Missouri's all-time leading scorer.
Chievous struggled with an illness that designated him as "questionable" before the game and made him a step slow against the Kansas defense after tip-off. Chievous finished with 20 points, 3.4 points below his season average, and Manning overshadowed him, scoring 37 points on 15-of-21 shooting.
Missouri's big men had no answer for Manning inside.
"I'm at a low," Chievous said after the game. "I'm at a loss for words. I'm at a loss for a lot of things."
Ironically, Kansas coach Larry Brown had postseason possibilities on his mind after the victory.
"I just hope we've beaten enough teams (for the NCAA) to take that into consideration," he said.
They had. Kansas went on to secure its second national championship a month later, and the Tigers lost to Rhode Island in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
"I'm not giving up," Chievous said after the Kansas loss. "I feel this is happening for a reason."
Maybe it was. Less than a week after the loss, the Tigers earned one of their biggest wins, a 93-90 overtime triumph against No. 4 Oklahoma on March 3.
Chievous dominated the Sooners, scoring a game-high 35 points in the upset, his last game at Hearnes Center. Although Chievous missed a shot that would have won the game at the end of regulation, he scored four points in overtime to key the victory.
Missouri coach Norm Stewart had some kind words for Chievous after the game.
"He's had so many good ones for us," Stewart said. "He was pretty good, very good, outstanding."

News from Upstate
Doretta Royer 315 464-4833
Upstate spotlights research by postdoctoral fellows, clinical residents March 6
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Upstate Medical University will spotlight research studies by its young investigators— postdoctoral fellows, residents and fellows — at the university's Third Annual Beyond the Doctorate Research Day Wednesday, March 6, beginning at 12:30 p.m. in Weiskotten Hall. These investigators work alongside some of the nation's leading biomedical researchers and clinicians who serve as faculty members in Upstate's College of Graduate Studies.
A keynote address by Yupo Ma, M.D., Ph.D., and a poster session are included in this free, public event. Ma is nationally known for his research on leukemia and for developing a technique for clinical therapies, including bone marrow transplantation. Ma earned his Ph.D. in the laboratory of Steven Goodman, Ph.D., while at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine. Goodman is vice president for Research and dean of the College of Graduate Studies at Upstate.
The day is presented by Upstate's Office of Postdoctoral Affairs of the College of Graduate Studies and the Office of Graduate Medical Education.
"Postdoctoral fellows, clinical residents and fellows perform some of the most important research at any prominent academic health center," said Steven Goodman, Ph.D. "It is for this reason that the Upstate Strategic Plan for Strengthening Research called for the development of a Post Doctoral Affairs office in the College of Graduate Studies. In developing that office, we felt that it was important to shine a light on the research accomplishments of this talented group of young investigators by providing a day when the focus is on them. This led to the birth of the Beyond the Doctorate Research Day which is now in its third year."
"We sometimes do not recognize the tremendous contributions that our research fellows and medical residents and fellows provide to help push the bounds of medical knowledge," said William Grant, Ed.D., Upstate's associate dean of Graduate Medical Education. "This event highlights the breadth and depth of cutting-edge research that is being undertaken by the next generation of medical investigators."
Eight of the young investigators will discuss their studies, from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in 2231 Weiskotten Hall. The presenters are, in order of their appearance, Dongqing Yan, Ph.D., (Pharmacology); Amritpal Nat, MD, (Internal Medicine); Omar Mousa, M.D., (Internal Medicine); Viren Kaul, M.D., (Internal Medicine); Bryanna Emr, M.D., (General Surgery); Aamer Imdad, M.D., (Pediatrics); Mehdi Najafi, M.D., Ph.D., (Ophthalmology); and Rebecca Oot, Ph.D., (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology). Visit the Beyond the Doctorate Research Day for more information regarding their studies.
Ma's address titled, "Bench to Bedside to Bench," will be held at 3 p.m. in 2231 Weiskotten Hall. Ma is a board certified hematopathologist, professor and medical director of the Flow Laboratory in the Department of Pathology at Stony Brook University Medical Center. He is nationally recognized for his research in the diagnosis of leukemia. His laboratory also developed a technique to induce patient-specific pluripotent stems cells—stem cells that have the potential to differentiate into specialized cells in the body-for clinical therapies including bone marrow transplantation and other regenerative medicine treatments. It is used to avoid immunity rejection upon transplantation and can be used to treat diabetes, hemophilia and other diseases.
A poster session highlighting an additional 29 research investigations by young investigators will follow Ma's address in the ninth floor cafeteria in Weiskotten Hall.
Contact Melissa Jones at 464-4542, email@example.com, for more information about the event.

Twilight star Kristen Stewart is the world's most clickable celebrity this summer
Actress ranks top of MGID's Click Factor - the top 10 celebs consumers felt compelled to click on.
Kristen Stewart – who rose to fame as Bella Swan in the Twilight films – is summer 2012's most clickable celebrity. Web traffic generator MGID's Click Factor ranked the American actress as the celebrity consumers felt most compelled to click on during the period June 1st to August 31st 2012.
With a Click Factor of 9 the Twilight star topped the list. Second place went to singer Beyonce with a Click Factor of 8, while rapper Nicki Minaj came third with a Click Factor of 7.3. Surprisingly the results revealed that singer Justin Bieber – the world's most Googled celebrity – only ranked ninth, with a Click Factor of just 2.7. Since the summer Click Factor scores are calculated from the beginning of June to the end of August, Prince Harry only just squeezed onto the list in last place following his late August exploits in Las Vegas.
MGID measures the Click Factor from the Internet user clicks generated via the MGID widgets that many thousands online publishers display on their websites. MGID's widgets have a reach of 120 million people. The widgets display compelling editorial teasers – an image and a descriptive headline – developed by MGID's expert team. These teasers attract Internet users' attention and encourage them to click on the links for more information, taking them through to a publisher's or advertiser's website.
The MGID Click Factor is calculated using criteria including the number of times people clicked on teasers about celebrities, how many articles online publishers produced about each celebrity and the average amount of click-throughs per teaser.
MGID's widgets appear below articles on websites, rather than the more typical advertising spaces above and beside publisher's content. Online publishers carrying MGID's widgets are rewarded in two ways: by gaining revenue for carrying teasers to advertorials or by receiving more traffic to their website.
MGID Click Factor Summer 2012 results:

Nick Marr, Director of MGID, said: "People find our teaser articles compellingly clickable because we make them about celebrities, issues and products that they care about. The 120 million reach of our widgets coupled with our editorial expertise drives web users to the quality content offered by our worldwide network of many thousands of publishers."
"The enduring popularity of the Twilight saga combined with R-Patz and K-Stew's romance hitting the rocks made the editorial teasers MGID's team created about her extremely popular with web users, establishing her as summer's most compellingly clickable celebrity."
"Advertising banners are now standard website furniture. Consumers are so used to seeing banners that they no longer effectively engage with them. MGID attracts Internet users by creating compellingly clickable content and placing it below articles, rather than in the banner-dominated space at the top of web pages."
MGID at Ad:TechLondon
Nick Marr will be presenting "How to use celebrities to drive traffic" at digital marketing event Ad:Tech at 15.50 on Wednesday, 19th September 2012.
The presentation will reveal how major brands and publishers of all types are using celebrities to increase traffic & revenue, and how content driven traffic helps to grow businesses in an economic downturn.
MGID will be exhibiting at Ad:Tech on stand 210.

Topic Overview
Postural drainage and chest percussion are often used together to help loosen and remove mucus from the lungs. These airway clearance techniques help people who have a spinal cord injury, cystic fibrosis, or another condition that makes it hard for mucus to drain from the lungs. When mucus collects in your lungs, it increases your risk for lung infections.
Postural drainage uses gravity to help drain mucus into the mouth by placing the body in specific positions. Each position drains different areas (lobes) of the lung. The mucus can then be spit or coughed out.
Chest percussion (chest physiotherapy) uses clapping of the chest with a cupped hand to vibrate the airways in the lungs. This vibration moves the mucus from smaller airways into larger ones where it can be coughed up. Chest percussion is done with the help of a partner, special electronic devices designed to vibrate the chest, or other instruments that a person can use to vibrate the chest safely.
A doctor or respiratory therapist will recommend how often to do these techniques. They usually need to be done at least once a day. It is important to do them exactly as you are instructed.
Morning can be a good time to do postural drainage, to help clear mucus that has built up during the night. When postural drainage is done just before bedtime, it may help decrease coughing at night. Do not do it soon after a meal, because this may raise your chance of reflux or vomiting.
See pictures that show where to clap:

Very good article. Thank you
The Only thing that is frustrating about JAAS is that roles are hard coded inside application code wich make it not suitable for a wide range of cases.
@faissal: in the article Adam describes how to programmatically handle the role authorization using ProgrammaticallySecuredWisdomStorage, no necessity to hard coding the role inside application...

Many thanks Adam, very good article !
What if I want BASIC auth accessing a restful resource and FORM based auth accessing html pages ?
Must I break the project in 2 parts and handle 2 separate contexts where the first has BASIC auth (restful resource) and the second has FORM based auth (html pages) ?
Many thanks in advance...

As java is a secure and poratable language so its static and dynamic authentication is very much neccessary.
for much information we can move onto Java Magazine iOS App also.

Hi Adam
Thank you very much for the article and the example. That helped me a lot.
But now I have a question:
I would like to use an application specific realm (I use 3party lib, which I only have in the classpath of the application).
Is there a possiblity to do that?
Thank you in advance

Memphis Board of Education members by a 7-1 vote last night approved the proposed 6 percent pay raise for Supt. Willie W. Herenton, bringing his annual salary to $68,536 effective Jan. 1. The vote, which came after about an hour of low-key discussion, places Herenton on the system's administrative pay plan, which means he will receive automatic raises in future years, depending on the funding provided for administrative pay.

Very friendly and helpful. Will do business again.
I reserved a larger truck prior to my move. The day before, U-Haul called me to change the reservation because they had given it away already. In the end the only U-Haul I could get was smaller and too small for me to move completely.
Dropped of the truck and trailer on New Years day. Talked with the folks on the phone the day prior and they where nice and helpful on where the to park the truck and drop off the keys.
